一、項目介紹
Kvazaar是屢獲殊榮的學術性開源HEVC編碼器，它是用C語言從零開始開發的。Kvazaar目標是設計一種模塊化，便攜式HEVC編碼器，以最佳的編碼速度和資源獲得高編碼效率。
可以從GitHub下載Kvazaar源代碼和二進制文件，也可以通過FFmpeg或Libav使用它。 相比於x265，使用上面感覺快很多，而且支持設置tile的參數進行編碼。

編譯好的各個平臺的可執行文件：
二、命令行
簡單的一個例子：
將一個輸入的MP4 hevc編碼的文件 編碼成 將motion vectors 限制在一個tile裏面的hevc碼流:
kvazaar -i input.mp4 --input-res 3840x2160 -o output.hvc --tiles 3x3 --slices tiles --mv-constraint frametilemargin -q 30 --period 30 --input-fps 30
將一個yuv編碼成有tile的bin：
kvazaar -i 8k.yuv --input-res 8192x4096 -o output.hvc --tiles 3x3
三、VS 平臺編譯
1、首先下載vsyasm
按照要求下載：64爲下載的是 http://yasm.tortall.net/Download.html
下載好之後解壓 將vsyasm.exe的路徑添加到系統的環境變量path裏面。否則會出現 vsyasm找不到的錯誤。
2、編譯
打開kvazaar\build\kvazaar_VS2015.sln 就可以編譯調試了。
3、編譯過程出現錯誤：
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'Win32-Debug\picture-x86-asm-sad.obj
出現這個錯誤一般都是yasm的版本不對了。這邊用的cygwin下面的vsyasm，這個之前編譯vp9的時候改過，是yasm更名的，導致編譯錯誤。
重新到yasm的網站下面下載一個新的vsyasm，加到到環境變量裏面。 重新啓動一下vs 2017 就可以編譯成功了。
